<p class="ltx_p">ThunderSTORM provides a variety of post-processing methods and tools
which can be applied to the results obtained from previously processed
SMLM data. The software includes methods for correcting the data by
removing molecules with, e.g., poor localization accuracy, for merging
molecules present in subsequent images, and for position correction
of molecules caused by lateral drift of the sample and/or by axial
stage scanning. Users can also define the order in which the different
post-processing steps are applied. Localization results can be imported/exported
to/from ThunderSTORM in a variety of data formats which allows full
compatibility with other SMLM localization software.</p>
